Under normal circumstances

I would be delighted.

This morning when I awoke, and weighed myself, I was 4 pounds lighter than I was Thursday morning, and 2 pounds lighter than I was yesterday afternoon [after a bike ride into Whittier with Rocky and Edgar].

I decided Wednesday evening to make a more concerted effort to lose weight, even cutting up some celery Thursday to munch on instead of the cookies, candy, nuts etc. I usually munch on in the afternoon, but 4 pounds in 2 days seems pretty dramatic.

I don't feel bad, aside from having more and more trouble getting up in the mornings, so I'll wait till tomorrow before panicking.

Hopefully I've just shed a little excess [and unneeded] water weight, and I'll see a more controlled weight loss tomorrow.

Has to be water. You can't lose 4 lbs of fat or muscle in two days.

Even if you're sick?

I lost another pound this AM, and that's after stuffing myself with a bleu burger with fries, and 2 glasses of soda water at Red Robin last night.

Even if you're sick, unless you're terribly catabolic and are breaking down muscle mass extensivly (I don't think you're that sick, you'd know it).

Still think it's a matter of water distribution. Maybe you were water overloaded previously and now you're back to your dry weight?

Don't worry, I never believe anything a doctor tells me. :)

But I do think you're correct, and I am feeling a lot better than I did a half hour ago, so I guess I'd better get ready for my bike ride.

Vaccine Mandates, what are they good for?

Not much, that's for sure! Simply showing evidence of receiving a Covid-19 vaccine (whether fake or not), does not mean you are protected from getting Covid-19, nor spreading it, if infected. We are all different, and too many of us, i.e. people who are immunocompromised/ immunosupressed, the elderly, or others for various reasons, do not [cannot] mount an immune response as good as younger and healthier individuals. What is evidence of immunity is a quantitative antibody test showing you have developed antibodies, and to what degree, either from natural immunity or the vaccine.  That is what we should be testing for. That is what is important. But for too long, many, i.e. the FDA, doctors, and other health experts discouraged people (and still are) from getting antibody tests, because there was little knowledge about what level of antibodies are needed to impart immunity to the virus. That of course is true, to some extent, but how can we ever find out [learn] the answer to that q

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba

Open letter to all Democrats

Stop the nonsense! Continuing to go after Trump, without any hope of getting a conviction, does nothing more than provide Republicans with an obstructionist dialogue (now that they have come up with the unconstitutional talking point) in addition to giving Trump much needed publicity, when we should be ignoring him. It's the pure definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result! Instead Democrats need to be laser focused on what is important to all Americans, i.e. healthcare, Social Security and Medicare, infrastructure reform, the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, to name just a few. And when you do talk about Trump, simply steer the conversation as to how the Trump administration botched everything, how Trump is responsible for the deaths of 400,000+ Americans, due to his inaction and the down playing of the pandemic, plus the deaths of 2 Capitol policeman during the insurrection Trump provoked and incited on January 6, 2021.
